San Antonio baby found stabbed, decapitated:

Reason to Blow Up the World…

In what police described as one of the most gruesome crimes against a child in recent memory, a newborn boy in San Antonio was stabbed, decapitated and mutilated early Sunday.

His 33-year-old mother claimed responsibility, police said.

Otty Sanchez told police that she was “hearing voices” and that the devil made her kill Scott Wesley Buchholtz Sanchez, whom she gave birth to on June 30, San Antonio police spokesman Joe Rios said.

Sanchez used a steak knife to repeatedly stab the 3½ -week-old baby, then decapitate and mutilate him, Rios said. A police source said the baby was skinned and gutted.

Sanchez then used the knife to stab herself in the chest and abdomen, police said.

It was Sanchez’s mother who called police. She told police Sanchez woke her up around 4:30 a.m. Sanchez’s mother said she saw her daughter sitting with the boy. He had been decapitated, the police report said. Sanchez’s mother took the baby, put him on a bed and called police, according to the police report.

When police arrived, Sanchez was sitting on a couch, yelling, “I killed my baby. I want to die,” the report said.

An officer found the child lying in a pool of blood on a bed next to the knife, believed to be the murder weapon, and two swords, which Rios said were not involved in the crime. Authorities were seen carrying two bags out of the home and officials on the scene confirmed they contained the baby’s remains.

The baby was also missing body parts, and police are looking into claims the mother made to them about ingesting those parts, sources said.

Update: San Antonio police say a woman accused of beheading her 3½-week-old infant son used a knife and two swords in the attack and ate some of the child’s body parts, the Associated Press reports.

San Antonio Police Chief William McManus told reporters Monday that Otty Sanchez’s attack on her son, Scott Wesley Buchholtz-Sanchez, was “too heinous” to fully discuss.

But he says Sanchez ate part of the newborn’s brain and bit off three of his toes before stabbing herself twice.

Again I ask why is it he voices never tell you to paint the house or join the Peace Corps or something.

The only devil here is you Otty Sanchez. You deserve the death penalty probably more than anyone I can think of in recent history. I really hope that Texas lives up to its reputation and executes you hastily and with extreme prejudice.

Rot in hell.
